My trading card for the IEH series shows my head as a cyclohexane ring (flat). My name is Rissa Sorensen-Unruh, I’m a gender fluid female and my hometown is hard to say because my dad was military and my mom was a Methodist minister, so we moved A LOT (although we lived in El Paso, TX for most of my childhood).
My classroom passions include Ungrading, JEDI (although I know some prefer DEIJ, but this shows my love for Star Wars (and bonus – Star Trek too) as well, and STEM (I have masters in both organic chemistry and statistics and teach chemistry at a CC). My life passions include spending time with family, walking and hiking (which I cannot do right now because I have a Grade 3 high intensity ankle sprain), writing, and thinking/talking about deeply human issues (which I call spirituality, but that may not be the best term…maybe philosophical spirituality is better? Or redundant?).
I’m glad to be learning and practicing IEH with y’all!
Rissa! So nice to see you here. I also moved a LOT as a child. Ended up changing schools in 6th/7th/8th/9th/10th grade. My parents just liked moving a lot.
Hi Jennie! So nice to see you here too! I get the statement “my parents just liked moving a lot” really well. Not because my parents just enjoyed moving (they basically stayed in one place if they could), but because I got to a place where I could only thoroughly clean my house and keep my stuff to a minimum if I moved. Obviously, since I’ve now been in the same house for 20+ years, I have learned to get around this, but idea of moving still entices.
Of course you made me curious about cyclohexane rings, Rissa, so I had to Google and… it is a THING. So much information at Google, none of it comprehensible to me. But now I know that in addition to all the things Google wants to tell me about cyclohexane rings, I know they can be doodles too. HAPPY 2023!!!!! 🙂

I love you so much, Laura. The fact that out of that whole trading card, you picked out the cyclohexane rings is SO Laura.
